Acampo: Wineries, Tastings, and Wine Country

Acampo is a destination for travelers who want to include wineries, wine tastings, and a wine-growing landscape in their travel plans. The offerings have different focuses: some center on selecting and choosing wines, while others combine tastings with an indoor setting or insights into a family’s history. The surroundings of individual wineries are also described in specific terms. You can therefore consider tasting formats, wine-growing history, and landscape as different aspects of your trip.

Tasting Formats in Acampo

At Peltier Winery & Vineyards, guests can sample 24 different wines using the WineStation system. The wines are estate-grown and certified sustainable. You can use the WineStations on your own or, with a reservation, have samples brought to your table. This means it is not only the wines that differ, but also the way you taste them. If you prefer table service, note the reservation requirement; availability and reservation details may change. Check this information before your visit.

Viaggio Estate & Winery offers tasting flights of six wines each, seven days a week. The wine club manager selects the wines each week. The WineStation offers 24 wines to sample; Viaggio offers six wines per flight, selected weekly by the wine club manager. Check current operating details before your trip.

Durst Winery & Estate also offers tastings year-round in an indoor space with wine barrels. At Housley’s Century Oak Winery, you can taste wine and learn more about the family’s history in winegrowing. The family has been welcoming guests for more than two decades. Check current availability before visiting Housley’s.

Vineyards and Surroundings

At Viaggio Estate & Winery, the landscape is explicitly part of the winery’s character: it is located in Acampo among vineyards and walnut orchards, with the Mokelumne River as a shared backdrop. Acquiesce’s estate in Acampo covers 18 acres planted with grapevines.

Winegrowing in the Wider Lodi Travel Area

Winegrowing also shapes the wider Lodi travel area. Since the 1870s, five generations of the LangeTwins family have farmed land in the region. Macchia Wines is a family-run winery that has produced wine in the Lodi Appellation since 2001. At LangeTwins, guests can learn about the vineyards, family stories, and sustainable farming practices behind the wines. At the Redwood Bar, you can create your own tasting flight from a list of single-vineyard wines; these wines are available exclusively directly from the winery in Lodi. As this is current visitor information, check operating details before your trip.

Choosing a Focus for Your Stay

The offerings can be distinguished by specific preferences: self-guided tasting or reserved table service at Peltier, a weekly selection of six wines at Viaggio, and year-round indoor tastings at Durst. Housley’s adds insights into family history to the winery visit. This can help you decide whether your trip should focus on the selection of wines, a particular tasting format, or the history of winegrowing.

If you are considering Acampo as a destination for a stay, these highlights can help structure your travel plans: tasting experiences, family history in winegrowing, and a landscape of grapevines and walnut orchards each offer a different emphasis. First decide which topics matter to you, then look for a hotel in Acampo for your trip.
